I am using a GPS device. I'm told it's a WD-G-ZX4120, but on the actual device it says it's an ET-318. I heard from somewhere that this device uses 100 to 150mA. However the datasheets seem to say that it uses only a maximum of 42mA. So how much does it actually use?
Here is the datasheet for the WD-G-ZX4120, and here is the datasheet for the ET-318. Are these the same thing?

Your link for the
ET-318
doesn't work, but that doesn't matter. If I have contradicting information like this, what you've been told (by whom?) and what the device actually says, I'd believe the latter.If the device says
ET-318
and the datasheet for theET-318
says 42 mA, why not believe it? Otherwise you might as well never look at datasheets again.
